Most debut albums are the best releases - Kill Em All, Show No Mercy, Fistful of Metal, Killing Is My Business, March of the Saint, Bathory, Heavy Metal Maniac, See You In Hell, Burzum, etc,
while some bands second Lp's were even better - Iron Maiden's Killers, Sabbath's Paranoid, Artillery's Terror Squad, Evil Invaders, Black Metal, etc
but this is the first time I ever heard that the boring plodders on "M.O.P." were better than anything on Metallica's first 2 albums!

I can understand that some intros on the Vital Remains stuff can be boring to some, but seriously, which flaws could anyone find in albums like 'MToN' or 'World Downfall' (even though "Dead shall rise" is a kinda letdown track for me), 'Chemical Exposure' or... 'Severed Survival'?!?!?! Not joking, I'm pretty curious about this.

Calm down.

By saying "close to flawless" i mean that they are not 100% for me but extremely close. If you want to put a percentage on it, then i would say that all those albums are in the 97-99% range. So yeah, very close to flawless.

And of course a thread about great metal albums had to be ruined by the mandatory lists of shitty norsecore records by clueless 20yo Katharsis fanboys.

what is it with you and Katharsis anyway?_________________

Every time you put on a classic heavy metal album that's time wasted you could have been thinking about Revenge and buying Revenge and talking about Revenge and stalking Revenge and having wet dreams about Revenge

Fucking stupid, talentless, awful band for equally stupid listeners who discovered metal in 2001 and just can't get enough of mediocre 5th rate norsecore noise recorded in the woods._________________Permabanned
